~946,080 t CO₂/yr (estimated) — in everyday terms

This facility's annual emissions are roughly equivalent to:

220,531passenger cars driven for a year
123,380homes' yearly energy use
15,768,000tree seedlings grown 10 years to absorb it

Estimated, not measured: from installed capacity at a typical 45% load factor × a typical gas emission factor (~400 g CO₂/kWh, IPCC AR5 / US EIA). Actual emissions depend on plant efficiency and running hours.Equivalencies via US EPA Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies.

Climate zone & how it works

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a subarctic (boreal) climate (Köppen Dfc) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 53.1°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.

~14°Ctypical warm-season mean
Subarctic (boreal): four distinct seasons — cold winters and warm summers
